Another good week to be a photojournalist in Washington County. This week I will also include some clips off the videos I made because there were some pretty good moments.

The week started with the very educational and fun guy named The Reptile Man in North Plains. His presentation is very good and he'd be worth listening to even without his reptiles. He's a very good speaker.

I can't say I even knew what succotash was until I followed Eleana Dan to the Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace and watched her cook up a batch. It was very good.

Century High School Marching Band had their Band Camp last week and it had the feeling of an energy draining athletic camp. The weather was hot. The workouts were long. And that's what creates the best kind of fun for young people.

Friday afternoon at the Hillsboro Shute Park Branch Library children and adults were able to see a number of animals that teenagers from the Oregon Zoo had brought in for show and tell.
